Friends to search Utah campsite for missing mom
SALT LAKE CITY — Friends of a Utah mother missing since December plan a search of the remote desert area where the woman’s husband says he was winter camping when she disappeared.
In a Facebook post, Kiirsi Hellewell says a search for Susan Powell will be held April 10 at the Simpson Springs campground area. Hellewell says volunteers are needed to conduct the daylong search.
Simpson Springs is about 110 miles southwest of Salt Lake City near the Pony Express Trail.
Susan Powell was last seen at her West Valley City home on Dec. 7. Her husband Josh Powell told police he saw his wife as he left with the couple’s young sons for an overnight desert camping trip.
Police have called Josh Powell a person of interest in the case, but he has not been arrested or charged.
